An Israeli official has confirmed an Israeli Air Force strike on Syria early Saturday which targeted a shipment of advanced weapons, specifically “long-range ground-to-ground missiles.” Israeli leaders have vowed to do everything necessary to prevent advanced weapons including anti-air S-17 and Scuds, or unconventional weapons such as chemicals being sent out of Syria to the Lebanese Hizballah.
